desert flower looking for rain

Heartquake

dividing horizons
of showering
moonstones encased
in a shimmering beam

splitting tremors
that have the temerity
of a raging tempest

quivering ripples
of a ravenous desire
chisel through icy
formations

rapturous infernos
stoke the unknown
with ravishing tendrils

Against the dewy
blanket, beneath the
heated sighs, a tremble
and a shiver within
     arched anticipation< !signature-->

"...I am a river in winter,
quiet in the eyes of most
but deep,
swift and full of life
to one, lucky enough to fall through the ice."

I have felt this quake before and you have penned it well.  I felt the every tremor of it as I read it.  Wonderful write.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

Snow~
This is wonderful and sensuous and inviting.
Very well done and full of metaphorical delight.

Your imagery and metaphor are right on...this one should be read again....
